Searching for a win

LOS ANGELES - What do the Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs have in common?

Both are winless thus far and both will try to gain their first victory tonight.

The Clippers are the designated road team against their hall mates, the Lakers. San Antonio is visiting Minnesota.

The last time the Spurs began a season with three consecutive losses was during the 1973-74 season, back when they played in the ABA. Never have the Spurs had a poorer start since joining the NBA in 1976-77.

As for the Clippers, this is their worse start the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season when they lost 17 consecutive games to start the year.

Which team will win its first game first? Time zone differences don't count, if the two teams play on the same night.
